The condition of feeling a breath blocking the throat is often caused by chronic inflammatory diseases of the throat. Patients may suffer from chronic inflammation of the throat due to excessive use of the voice in work and life, or long-term smoking, drinking, eating spicy and irritating foods, which may cause foreign body sensation and blockage in the throat. Some patients may be affected by adverse mental and emotional factors, leading to the occurrence of pharyngeal heterosensitivity, which can also be called plum kernel gas from the perspective of Chinese medicine. Some patients may also have gastroesophageal reflux disease, where acidic digestive juices repeatedly reflux to stimulate the mucous membrane of the throat, which may also cause the symptoms of chronic pharyngolaryngitis, resulting in a feeling of blockage in the throat.
